Andy Murray to face Rafael Nadal for first time in 10 years

Andy Murray is set to make his return to the court to face old foe Rafael Nadal to mark the 10-year anniversary of Nadal's tennis academy.

The event, which will be a team competition with Murray and Nadal serving as captains, will take place in Manacor on 3rd October.

Posting on social media, Nadal said: "I know you've been practising a lot, almost like a professional. I can't practise as much as you, but I think I can still be competitive.

"Maybe you can bring some of your friends and I can bring some of mine, and we can have a team competition here at the Academy to celebrate the 10th Anniversary.

"It would be fantastic for everyone here at the Academy to welcome you back."

Nadal and Murray met several times a year at the peak of their powers, though never in a Grand Slam final. Nadal last faced Murray back in 2016 at the Madrid Open, beating the Scot 7-5 6-4.

The remaining team members are still to be announced.
